Norfolk, VA (November 2011): Wall, Einhorn & Chernitzer, P.C. (WEC) was recently named as one of the 2012 Best Places to Work in Virginia. The annual list of “Best Places to Work” was created by Virginia Business magazine and Best Companies Group.

This survey and award program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Virginia, benefiting the state's economy, its work force and businesses. The Best Places to Work in Virginia list is made up of a total of 70 companies, divided into three groups: small employers (fewer than 100 employees); mid-sized employers (100-250 employees); and large-sized employers (more than 250 employees).

Organizations from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Virginia. The first portion consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second portion consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top organizations and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration, survey and analysis process and determined the final rankings.

The official rankings of the 2nd annual Best Places to Work in Virginia will be unveiled and published in the February 2012 issue of Virginia Business.
